  1. China likes to make $$ by manufacturing and now researching and invention they try to. China will not invade or go to war and lose it $$ the market they have in america and europe raw materials come from Australia Africa and Himalayan mountian countries not all from Russia China is backing away from Russia somewhat and will not engage in war

  3. I think about the youngsters of the world.

    Xi Jinping and Putin should think about themselves when they were brought into the world. Babies should be able to go forward with their lives as they have done.

    Unfortunately for the people around the world power and wealth is their God.

  4. I don't know saying that China is close to revolution is like the Russians thinking that the USA is close to revolution. Personally I think unless we have a global systems collapse, I don't think any modern state is going to collapse.

  6. four months later, what he said has been proved to be SO wrong. haha. btw, japan's downturn started when the us and the other white g7 countries bullied japan into revaluate the yen by about 100% in addition to some stupid mistakes japan made, such as useless real estate investments.

  7. IMHO, the whole talk is missing one core argument: Russia uses its nuclear stockpile to protect their invasion by intimidating the west. But Russia as well as anybody else totally ignores that they have the largest nuclear umbrella for their own protection. Russia simply pretends that it could find itself in a situation again any time where another Napoleon or Hitler is going to invade them. But their nuclear umbrella is an absolute game changer. NOBODY is going to attac or invade Russia and survive his attempt – ever again! On the flip side, Russia has NO excuse to demand a buffer zone for its security as it clearly needed in the pre-nuclear era.

  8. When the West pressurized both China and Russia at the same time, it could possibly turned a non-alliance into an alliance.
    United States has proven historically to have made silly political mistakes without recognising it. I studied China history. United States had on one incident made a mistake and pushed the communist party of China and Russia to get together. It is this very mistake that provide a window to Mao to eventually over ruled Jiang and formed China Republic. Thanks to United States.

  9. America can always be trusted. Yeah, right, except for those cases were governments were destroyed by the CIA. Or when allies start doing things in their own interest. Just ask Osama bin Laden or Sadam Hussein on that matter. And do not forget those generals that from one day to another, declared Germany as part of the axis of evil again, for delivering a plant for fertilizer production. I personally trust the US of A as far as I can throw it.

  10. If you believe what these groups of Anglo-Saxon's propaganda, China would bankrupt 20 times. The real story goes to the opposite way. Anglo-Saxon live in dreams sending 6,7 Carries to China coastal areas? They will be destroyed on their halfway by the long range Anti ship missiles…….

  12. This guy is total idiot. None of what he said is true. And I can bet he has never been to China. Because when u drive 30 miles out of Shanghai, it is still a highly industrialised area. There is no absolute poverty in China. You drive 3000 miles out of Shanghai, you still won't see. So I know he has never been to China and he is all bullshit. What does he mean by China cannot aid Russia due to geography? China can send weapons to Russia. Let's US can beat that or not? US would shit in his pants. It will happen soon. Just watch.

  13. I don’t know Russia, but I’m really sure that since 40 years China has been constantly rising, no matter how much western distorted information, especially from previous China collapse to nowadays China threats.

  15. People cite that quote from Xi that China "reserves the right" to reunify Taiwan by force. So what? That has not changed since 1949! The mainland/Taiwan have very close commercial links. Some 90% of Taiwanese favor the status quo. The Chinese are patient. The CPC and the KMT will eventually work out some kind of Hong Kong type accommodation. China's only real condition is that Taiwan must not allow succession/independence political activity. That's all.

  16. When will approach the end of the world, the man of sin will attempt a supreme effort against God and His Christ. Michael, the champion of the rights of God of Heaven, will rise again, and will defend the servants of Christ, overthrowing the seducer from his throne and kill him. This is the teaching of the of the doctors. They teach us, by the witness of Saint Gregory, that the Archangel Saint Michael will be the celestial envoy who will kill the Anti-Christ. It is written, it’s true, that the Lord Jesus will kill the Anti-Christ by a breath of His mouth; but the commentators understood by these words a command given by the Christ to His Archangel: Saint Michael will act as His minister, as a ray of His glory.

    Then will sound the solemn hour, the last hour.

  17. China's problem is that they choose a career politician over an innovator. This is why China has declined. When your government is an autocracy, it is the fault of the ruler why everything doesn't work. Should had picked Jack Ma, at least he knows how the economy works.

    Scratch that, they choose a career politician princeling who has everything given to him without trying. Nepotism.
